A few days ago, Facebook activated a new way of display of advertisements both in Web version as well as in applications for mobile platforms. Although this feature it is not yet active for all users (its implementation will be done gradually), it is activ for your account if you noticed that the videos posted contact in News Feed it runs automatically (without requiring your intervention).
At the moment, the only ones video files care it runs automatically in Facebook they are only those posted by friends, but soon this will also be valid for video advertisements. And although the sound for videos is off when they run automatically (most likely not to irritate the users), this feature will only succeed in distracting the users and upload the invoices (valid especially for those who use Facebook mobile applications on a mobile connection).
Fortunately, though, the automatic playback of videos in Facebook can be disabled, both in the version web, as well as in mobile applications (for the latter, the feature can only be deactivated for the mobile connection; pe Wi-fi the videos will be rolled automatically to continue).

- Then click on Videos, the last option from the list displayed in the left panel
- in the right panel, change the status of the option Auto-Play Videos FROM On (This is activated in default mode), in Off
